1. I had lunch with my dear friend Oday yesterday! He had a long layover at Reagan, so he took the Metro into the city and we walked over to Georgetown for a bit. I haven’t seen him since his last visit to Champaign in the summer of 2005, so it was fantastic to catch up.

2. I just realized that I’ve finally stopped calling my little brother by his baby nickname. He’s 12.

My parents and Eric (formerly: Coo) will be in town for the holiday weekend. I’m not sure what we’re going to do other than dye Easter eggs, but it will be nice to have them around for a few days.
